The Scent of Safety You can harness dogs' amazing sense of smell to manage your diabetes. Many dogs can perform this life-saving task, but they must be trained if you are to produce a reliable diabetic alert service dog (DAD). The authors bring to this book extensive experience in training for diabetic alert and assistance dog work in particular, and over half a century of training dogs for search & rescue, obedience, and therapy in general. They will guide you through this process step by step. This book helps diabetics train their own dog with the help of a professional trainer, and explains how to: o Select a great dog for alert work o Find and work with a qualified trainer o Understand how dogs detect changes in diabetic blood sugar levels o Train alerts and low/high blood sugar signals o Teach your dog to alert at night and in the car o Train other helpful skills such as Go for Help, trailing the diabetic, and retrieving useful items (glucometer, juice box, etc.) o Troubleshoot training difficulties o Locate additional resources on training and assistance dogs And when you are done, you will experience the freedom that comes from knowing a canine friend is looking out for you.

This volume includes a Spanish translation of the Manifesto of the Earth Federation by Glen T. Martin together with a Spanish version of the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. The Manifesto was approved by the Provisional World Parliament as an official statement of the Parliament. It contains an in-depth analysis of the present world system showing how and why there is growing poverty, environmental destruction, war, and other disastrous tendencies. It shows the ways in which the Earth Constitution can address these problems to make the Earth a decent home for all persons. The Constitution was written through a process of four global Constituent Assemblies and reached its final form at the Fourth Assembly in Troia, Portugal in 1991. Together, these documents provide a compelling "road map" for humanity to move into a decent, just, and sustainable future.
